    Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Ntheboat2 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    AMEN! I've seen so many gun lovers (that's how I describe them bc they're in love with their guns apparently) use the story of the 22 children in China who were attacked with a knife to "prove" that...

    Short nurse bio for social media (facebook..)

    Ntheboat2 replied to elenaperod's topic in General Nursing

    I don't use Facebook for professional purposes, BUT I did see a nurse educator post on her page an email that she got from a nurse recruiter asking if she would spread the word that X hospital was...

    Job bullying

    Ntheboat2 replied to Bunny1975's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can you transfer? That's what I would do. Once somebody has it out for you, it's not likely to change. It will only get worse.

    What kind of holiday bonus do you get?

    Ntheboat2 replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, really! A lot of people were asking me what I was doing to celebrate graduating and I was like....WORKING?! Having a job IS my graduation

    Any hospitals hiring exp Med/surg nurses to fulfill specialty needs

    Ntheboat2 replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure that would probably depend on the hospital they worked as floor nurses too. I was an intern at a level 1 trauma center and the patients on med/surg were high acuity. On the other hand, I was...

    Older nurse lacking computer skills

    Ntheboat2 replied to Nrsasrus's topic in General Nursing

    That seems a little harsh considering that computer charting is fairly new and that the OP is here asking the questions tells me that her mother IS making an

    Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    Ntheboat2 replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there some point in particular or question I didn't

    Older nurse lacking computer skills

    Ntheboat2 replied to Nrsasrus's topic in General Nursing

    Does your mother have a computer at home for personal use? You should direct her to this site! I think just getting familiar with using a computer for leisure (knowing which buttons do what) would...

    Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Ntheboat2 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wrong. I'm not going to debate the issue here, but if you're really interested to know how I feel about addicts then you can read my previous posts on the specific topic. And regarding the...

    Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Ntheboat2 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not saying it's not a legit diagnosis. It's just such a common diagnosis that facilities are flooded with addicts, sometimes legitimately, and sometimes because they are abusing the facility...

    Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Ntheboat2 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the problems have mostly been mentioned by previous posters. The big problem that I see is that there are not enough beds for people who need them, and the problem is getting worse instead of...

    Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    Ntheboat2 replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Since when is taking on the job of raising a kid that's not yours choosing the path of least resistance? Anyone who has actually raised a child (biological at that) knows it's not an easy one. You...

    My Reasons For Avoiding The Acute Care Hospital

    Ntheboat2 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. It wasn't really the nursing tasks or skills or whatever you want to call them that I didn't like. I don't have trouble putting in foleys, hanging fluids, starting IVs, etc. I actually had a...

    Ntheboat2 replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in School

    Really? Wow. By reading this site you'd think teachers would have a doctor who would fly in on a private jet to take a swab...and do a little plastic surgery for them while they wait for the...

    My Reasons For Avoiding The Acute Care Hospital

    Ntheboat2 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    That's so weird. I don't get it. There are a few specialties I would never, ever want to work in but I really don't think about them at all...much less put down the people who work in them. That's...

    Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    Ntheboat2 replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So, you grew up on handouts and that is why you're so informed about how terrible they are. YOU were fed, clothed, and had your healthcare bill taken care of via handouts by your own admission. Don't...

    Do you do assessments after a patient is discharged?

    Ntheboat2 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    Well, realistically....I think it depends on a lot of factors specific to the situation. If I had 5 patients to assess and the patient being discharged was on that list then I would put the discharged...

    My Reasons For Avoiding The Acute Care Hospital

    Ntheboat2 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if part of the reason people are so adamant about new nurses needing to start out in med/surg and get that golden year of experience is because it's what they did...and what everyone told...

    Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Ntheboat2 replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    I'm sure they probably did. Their opinion is important you know! It doesn't matter that they wouldn't be impacted at all and wouldn't even be wearing the hat (or carrying the

    Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Ntheboat2 replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    No, because it was all or none. Did they say you only had to wear a gown/mortarboard if you were female, and the males could wear something else? I doubt it. This would be a different issue if they...

    Professionals or "workers"

    Ntheboat2 replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I've seen comments in support of unions and against unions. So, I would assume that you don't find the comments supportive because they don't agree with your viewpoint, but both sides have been...

    Professionals or "workers"

    Ntheboat2 replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I wish I could be part of a union. Nurses in my area are some of the lowest paid in the country. I know that cost of living has a lot to do with that, but when I see that CNA's in other parts of the...

    I'm becoming very discouraged

    Ntheboat2 replied to bkworm8it's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I guess you could look at them as competition. By the time I had a phone call and interview set up or went through the interview, I didn't really see a classmate just then putting in an application as...

    Hipaa violation or not? Phone number error...

    Ntheboat2 replied to hunagirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree with the above. It's unfortunate, but not a violation. They could have just as easily sent a letter in the mail. Even though it would be addressed to you, it could put your husband on "high...
